STAN KROENKE has won over critical fans as he greeted Arsenal players and Mikel Arteta.
Gunners supporters have often been heavily critical of the American and even protested for him to sell the club.
However, fans have performed a shock U-turn regarding their opinions of him.
Kroenke now appears to have the Arsenal faithful's backing following several smart signings, choosing not to fire Arteta and thanks to a lovely moment in pre-season.
With the team in the US for friendlies against the MLS All-Stars, Manchester United and Barcelona, Kroenke attended a training session.
He was joined by son Josh and his two bulldogs.

Another reacted: "I was convinced we had the Glazers mark two for owners, now I would probably trust the Kroenkes with my life."
A third added: "What a lovely bloke Stan Kroenke is."
Others praised the manager, saying: "Arteta has mad aura."
Kroenke purchased a majority stake in August 2018 after initially joining the board of directors in 2008.
Fans were previously unhappy with the lack of investment in the team, partly blaming him for the club not finishing in the top four for six seasons in a row and due to their involvement in the European Super League.
Kroenke has splashed the cash this summer spending over £200million on Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber.
